Drinking advice
When is the best time to drink Thrive Peak?
Thrive Peak was developed as a tasty alternative to a regular after sports recovery drink. It is best enjoyed within the first 1-2 hours after sports, when your body needs protein and carbs to recover. It's also just a healthy beer to enjoy whenever you'd like, since protein and carbs fit nicely within a balanced diet.
When is the best time to drink Thrive Play?
Enjoy a Thrive Play, literally any time of day when you feel like having a healthy beer. Can you have multiple? Yes! You can't really overdo it with the vitamins so feel free to have a couple in a row. Your new daily healhy habit can be a beer. How about that?
How many Thrive Peak beers should I have after sports?
The amount of protein you need depends on your own bodyweight and how long and intense your workout was. As guidance, consume as follows within the 1-2 hours after sports:
- light to moderate workout: 1 Thrive, 10g protein
- moderate to hard workout: 2 Thrives, 20g protein
- hard workout: 3 Thrives, 30g protein
Remember that you can't really consume too much protein. So in case of doubt, go ahead and grab that extra Thrive!
Is there a limit to how many Thrives beers I can drink in a day?
No. Protein and vitamins are part of a balanced and healthy diet. Everyone needs between 1 and 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. And you can't really have too much protein. The same goes for the vitamins B&D that you'll find in our Thrive Play beer. One beer contains 50% of the RDI, but you can't really overdo it. Also, there is no alcohol in Thrive, so in this case moderation is not required ;-)
Can I enjoy Thrive Peak without working out first?
Absolutely. You can perfectly enjoy a Thrive Peak without exercising first, since protein and carbs fit nicely within a balanced diet. And there is no alcohol so nothing can hold you back. And remember, there's also Thrive Play, a beer you can have any time, any day. We have beers at work on a daily basis. :)

What type of protein do you use in Thrive Peak?
Not all protein is created equal.

You say THRIVE is non-alcoholic, but the packaging says <0.3% ABV. Why is that?
This is because Thrive is not dealcoholized like many 0.0% beers. Instead, we use a special yeast to brew our beer that produces practically no alcohol during fermentation. This results in a well bodied, great tasting non-alcoholic beer.
Why do you call it non-alcoholic then? By law every beverage with less than <0.5% ABV is considered non-alcoholic. We are way below this limit.
Look at it this way: to consume the same amount of alcohol as in a regular 5% ABV beer, you would have to consume about 17 Thrives all at once... Please don't try that at home.
Did you know? There is also a tiny bit of alcohol in regular nutrition such as fruit juice, a ripe banana, kombucha, bread, …
How is Thrive brewed?
Both of our beers are made using the same brewing process as any other beer, with the same four basic ingredients: water, barley, hops and yeast. We use a special patented yeast to avoid alcohol.
The only real difference is that we add high-quality protein to aid your recovery for Thrive Peak. In the case of Thrive Play, we add 10 vitamins, such as vitamin B&D.
